Very disappointing, but Mini has been getting less appealing for a while now. They dropped the manual when they upgraded the Countryman and Clubman JCWs to 300 hp. They've been cutting back on lots of options, particularly interior and exterior colours and other trim options. The customizability of Minis was half the fun of buying one. The new Mini looks plain weird from the rear, and they've ditched styling hallmarks like the chrome door handles and belt line. It's all very meh.
Kinda debating ordering a 2024 for my wife. Was looking at used ones but interest rates are much better on new, plus the benefit of having a warranty and paid maintenance. We'll see I guess.
